Editor's Lounge (OOC Chat 3)
There was a suggestion made as to the future of this game, and it was thought best put before the players for their input;
In short the idea is to create another Gift of Power, and have everyone simply move over to it. This will liberate me from certain promised obligations allowing more freedom in my new roll as head GM, and reduce the amount of work required in trimming characters, threads and so forth.
RPOL has an established rule about stealing the work of someone else, yet Scripts has always been free and open with their material even to the open discussion of how the Gifts worked. I made my own game based on this one, and after showing it to them they stated they did not believe to be stealing from them.
I plan to place an announcement in the new Gift of Power, clearing putting forth the fact it is to be considered every bit as much Script's property as the original. If they return and should they wish to become so, they will immediately be seated as the head GM in the new version. Anything they desire will be done at their request, including the complete shut down of the extension if such is their want. I will also put an announcement here that will explain why a new version was created, and provide a link for any long lost players whom might happen to drift past. With all these precautions in place, it is my hope our effort will be seen as an attempt to keep Script's dream alive and not an open attempt to steal it.
Once the new version is ready, I will advertise for new players. This is one advantage of the move, as I cannot currently do so.
A second change will be the addition of a new co-GM, for which I will no longer need agreement. I have offered the pending position to Dieter, and he had graciously accepted.
So that is where we are now, and as this game has always been open and honest with its players I would like very much for that tradition to continue. So please post yours thoughts, worries, insights, and ultimately your vote for how you wish for us to proceed. I will wait a span of several days, as I wish all remaining players to be able to openly voice their opinions without being pressured by real life constraints such as work or school.
